Someone recently told me, “Don’t sugarcoat it—give parents a no B.S. reason why they need your book.” So here it is, plain and powerful:

We hand our kids smartphones, let them scroll through TikTok, create YouTube channels, and build their digital lives on social media, yet we rarely equip them with the tools to understand the online world they’re walking into.

Instagram just rolled out new teen safety features like limiting direct messages from unknown adults and filtering out harmful content, because even the biggest tech platforms know the digital landscape isn’t always safe. But policies alone won’t protect our kids.

We need to do more than restrict, we need to educate.

That’s why I created Emani and the CyberHero Response Team, a children’s book that transforms real cybersecurity concepts into an engaging, empowering adventure for young readers. This isn’t watered-down fluff. These are actual foundations that cybersecurity professionals study, rewritten for kids in a way that makes them feel smart, seen, and capable.

Whether your child is a budding content creator, a gamer, or just exploring the web, they deserve to know how to recognize risks, protect their digital identity, and make smart choices online.

And here’s the best part: this is just the beginning.

Emani and the CyberHero Response Team is Part 1 of a book series that’s building a bridge between the digital world and our children’s understanding of it. Each book will introduce new cybersecurity concepts, layer by layer, lesson by lesson. Follow our journey. Expect more. Because digital safety shouldn’t be optional, it should be foundational.

To every parent, educator, and community member supporting this mission: thank you. The future is digital, and together, we can raise kids who are not just users of technology but guardians of it.
